In this chapter, Aaron as the newly consecrated High Priest and his newly consecrated sons begin their priestly duties of offerings and sacrifices for themselves and for the people. Moses served as the priest for these offerings and sacrifices during the 7 days of consecration of the priestly family. But now, his priestly work is completed and the duty shifts to the Aaronic lineage.
The order of the offerings/sacrifices is interesting in that it is somewhat of a reversal of how these were described in Leviticus Ch. 1-6. In these chapters the order was: burnt offering, grain offering, peace offering, sin offering, trespass offering. In Chapter 9 the order is: sin offering, burnt offering, peace offering, grain offering. This order must be significant.
The sin offering for Aaron was first. It was for the atonement of his own sins. Then the burnt offering for himself and his sons. This was for the imputation of their sins onto the sacrifice. Then they offered the sin offering for the people and then the burnt offering. Next, Aaron offered the meat offering (grain) as a symbol of thanksgiving and gratitude to God for being merciful and gracious in removing their sins. After these offerings were done (indicating that their sins had been forgiven and removed from them), Aaron offered the peace offering, offering the breast and the right thigh were lifted towards the altar and back toward them as a wave offering, perhaps indicating that the offering was first given to God and then received back again to the Priests for their holy meal eaten in the tabernacle of meeting only. The peace offering symbolized that peace had been acihieved with YHWH and they could now have Him appear to them in the tent of meeting.
All of these offerings were done according to how YHWH had instructed Moses and Moses, in turn, instructed a demonstrated for the priests and people during the time of consecration of the priesthood.
